A love poem.

I cannot be free.

Your embrace is my prison, your smiling eyes my chains.

You are my jailer, but it’s not you that keeps me here.

It’s me.

I wish to break away, but I cannot.

And then I can, but I don’t want to.

That’s how love works, that’s why we’re prisoners…

Without a cage, of our own will.

Hmmm. Your poems are very passionate. I feel so much “punch” behind them.

I guess what they say about the line between love/hate being thin.

However being 100 yrs old, I just don’t care to hate that much.

It seems such a waste of time. But awesome words. Truly.
